PT0515. An ultra rare to find short-run preseries version of Orion-15 lens. Kiev (Contax) mount. Released by KMZ in 1955. Almost identical to PT0510, but with slightly changed markings - infinity symbol "∞" becoming bigger already, character "4" changes his form, etc. An only so far known lens has s/n #5500007 (I.Stolyar coll.).
